Southampton finally break down Italians: Virgil van Dijk strike and Yuto Nagatomo's own goal seal 2-1 comeback victory for the Saints against Inter Milan

Southampton sealed a famous comeback victory over Inter Milan thanks to Virgil van Dijk's second-half strike and a Yuto Nagatomo own goal.

The Italian side took the lead when Mauro Icardi smashed home from inside the area before Saints midfielder Dusan Tadic saw his penalty on the stroke of half-time saved by Samir Handanovic.

Van Dijk, the Southampton skipper, made sure Tadic wasn't to regret that miss by grabbing a deserved equaliser after Oriol Romeu's lofted effort cannoned off the crossbar.

And Serbian playmaker Tadic played a vital part in the winner, with his cross bouncing off Yuto Nagatomo, who was unable to avoid scoring an own goal.
